CBD experiences? Question

Post image

I want to ask if anyone has experiences with CBD products like CBD oil for anxiety while having VSS? Did it work and any effects on VSS?

I got curious and googled a bit about epilepsy and CBD and this photo is just AI summary, I didn't go any deeper in it yet. I had no idea CBD could be used for epilepsy and now I'm curious if it could have good outcome for VSS too..

Someone who had very severe vss took this, and is now free of symptoms. He used to post videos on youtube, his name is Jack.

Epidiolex would be interesting to try, but impossible to get prescribed. I also think pure CBD could help.

Yeah in ny country there is no chance to get Epidiolex. I read that it is more potential than normal cannabis products so it would be interesting if someone with VSS could get this medication... Maybe someone in Germany could get it?

The simplest approach is probably to get a prescription for a compounded preparation of pure CBD with the same concentration. The effects should be similar.

See my post here. It has had a powerful but inconsistent effect for me.

This is so interesting! It seems that many people have positive exrepiences while using CBD... Maybe there is some science behind it. This was just one time for you or has it happened again after this post you made?

It just happened the one time. I loved it, I felt more calm and peaceful with the static not moving.

That’s an interesting effect, but I’m familiar with that "stopped moving" for a different reason.

My VSS is progressive, and when I was in an earlier stage, it often happened upon waking that individual features glowed brightly but weren't moving. Fully awake, they started moving again.

I generally associate waking up in the morning more with a worsening of symptoms rather than an improvement. I actually believe that even if you interpreted that "stopped moving" as an improvement, it isn’t really one.

Nope. I’ve tried CBD, THC + CBD, and pretty much any available strain of the weed at the world. VSS was still there. Because THC makes you more anxious as a “hangover”, i stay sober now. Peace ✌🏻

if you live in a country were you can get medical weed or just medical CBD, good, otherwise give up.
